cichlid stocking, how does this sound?

I am going to split certain ones up between the two tanks, and certain fish are leaving too.. (getting rid of 4 large peacocks tomm in return getting a male rubenesns to go w/ my 2 females) the ruby reds and the flametails will be homed in the 36g, I might also buy a trio of koningsi peacocks.

Now, for the 55 and 58g tanks:
I don't know who will go where:
except the labs and the red zebras will def stay in the orig tank.
We are getting a trio of the following: red top hongi, cynatilapia afra, Pseudotropheus Elongatus Chewere, the 2 females for my Metriaclima greshakei, a male and another female for my red top zebra. I am also going to get a male and another female cobalt zebra, and pair up my red zebras however they need paired.
I figure that my tank should be nice full, and colorful this way, and the fry I will get will be that of fish that the people around here will want since they can't find them in the local stores.
Then a few are going on my for sale, trade list my ob peacock, blue hap ahli male/female, mel aurua female, and 4 peacocks (they are going tomm). I will prob go ahead and get rid of my kenyi pair as well, they are getting far too aggressive for me, they can go as a proven pair at least.


any ideas?

I hadn't found the greyshakei when I posted that. However.... luckily today when I was out and about getting my new tank we found 2 female greyshakei's at petsmart of all places, and this petsmart is got a rep of having healthy fish, so we bought them. My male greyshakei was dancing around the bag when I put it in the tank literally I think he knew that that was his little ladies...

I can see him now. Happy little thing. don't they look pretty when they display and shimmy?

I haven't found any females yet but still looking. According to the person from whom I inherited these, they came from petland...so they had them at one time or another.

Are the new ladies fitting in?

Its so hard to find the fish you are looking for when you are just looking for one specific fish, I just lucked up on those girls the others we are going to have to order. oh def the ladies are fitting in fine, he took right to them, as well as the others in the tank. I love how they do the little displays.
